DC Connected Universe News

⦁ The Rock has finally confirmed he is to play the role of super villain/anti-hero “Black Adam” in the DC movie universe.

⦁ We’ve discussed the character Jim Corrigan’s upcoming role in NBC’s Constantine recently and today we’ve heard that Dublin actor Emmett Scanlan has been hired to play Detective Jim Corrigan in the show. Although the character is very similar to the one we discussed in our Gotham Central coverage it is more likely this Corrigan is based on the character also named Jim Corrigan who was host to the cosmic entity “The Spectre” from the 1940’s. We can’t wait to find out more.

Glad you liked it. It was really good of Victoria and Andrew to take the time out to join us. They would definitely work well on a visit to Constantine I’d love to see them get a few cases on their own to establish their characters and perhaps the Detective Jim Corrigan on Constantine may have a past in Gotham City.
